Monument Lane Shed: lnwrmlsh1510a
Close up of image 'lnwr1510' showing the extra sidings laid down
to provide additional stabling facilities between the water softener and the
shed. Two or three ex-LMS 4-6-0 Stanier 'Black Fives' can be seen in steam
indicating they have been prepared for their next turn of duties. The water
softener tank and associated buildings are behind the locomotive seen on the
left. To the right of this stabling point was a builder's yard and beyond that,
the Birmingham Canal. Behind the shed at a higher level was Sheepcote Road and
Vincent Street which effectively restricted the shed's development throughout
it's working life.
